HbA1 c : 52. Was 73 on 13th January when I was first diagnosed.
Total cholesterol : 4.8 - dropped from 6.3 (ideal is less than 4mmol/L)
LDL cholesterol : 2.9 - dropped from 4.1 ( ideal is less than 2.0 mmol/L)
HDL cholesterol (the good kind) : increased from 1.3 to 1.5 (ideal is greater than 1 mmol/L)
TC/HDL ratio: 3.2 - dropped from 4.8 ( ideal is less than 4.0)
Triglycerides: 0.9 - dropped from 2.0 ( ideal is less than 1.7 mmol/L)

Still plenty of room for improvement but I am relieved and happy at the general downward trend.
